Cleveland Indians-Columbus Clippers game called because of snow and unsafe field conditions

COLUMBUS -- The exhibition game between the Indians and Class AAA Columbus was stopped after 2 1/2 innings Wednesday afternoon because of unsafe field conditions at Huntington Park. It snowed from the first pitch to the last.

The game was tied, 1-1, when play was halted.

The warning track was covered with snow. It was 36 degrees, with a wind chill factor of 28, when the game was halted. The crowd booed slightly when the annoucement was made, but not much. They were probably too cold to boo.

The Indians scored their run on a RBI grounder by Michael Brantley in the second inning. Luke Carlin singled home Jason Kipnis in the second to make it 1-1. Jason Kipnis hit a leadoff single, stole second and scored on Carlin's hit.
